Asia is the largest and the most populous continent on earth. South Asia has a population of around 1.8 billion, thus constituting about one fourth of humanity. India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bhutan, the Maldives and Afghanistan are the countries in South Asia and many of them are Muslim-majority nations. Although India is predominantly a Hindu nation with a total population of 1.4 billion, there are more Muslims in India than in Pakistan and other South Asian nations. Hindus, Muslims, Christians, Sikhs and followers of other religions have lived peacefully in South Asia for centuries. However, certain incidents of communal violence and other untoward occurrences in South Asia suggest that Islamophobia is present here too. The authors discuss demography, cultures and the possible effect of Islamophobia on the mental health of the people of South Asia.

Азия – самая большая и густонаселенная часть света. Население Южной Азии составляет 1,8 млрд человек – около 1/4 населения всего мира. Индия, Пакистан, Бангладеш, Шри-Ланка, Непал, Бутан, Мальдивы и Афганистан – страны Южной Азии, и во многих из них преобладают мусульмане. Несмотря на то, что большинство населения Индии (1,4 млрд человек) составляют индуисты, в Индии проживает больше мусульман, чем в Пакистане или других странах Южной Азии. Индуисты, мусульмане, христиане, сикхи и последователи других религий веками мирно живут на территории Южной Азии. Тем не менее отдельные случаи межобщинного насилия и иные инциденты дают основания полагать, что и в нашем регионе есть место исламофобии. Авторы статьи рассматривают демографические, культурные аспекты, а также возможное влияние исламофобии на психическое здоровье жителей Южной Азии.
